Abstract

Several thousand organized groups, as well as gangs, are dedicated to cybercrime. The potential rewards for cybercrime can be immense, even for relatively simple crimes. The rapid advancement of technology means that cybercrime is constantly evolving, making it difficult to define and predict. While some may believe cybercrime to be the work of individual lone actors, the reality is quite different. Today, there are thousands of groups dedicated to cybercrime, attracted by its potential rewards. The pace of cybercrime globally is increasing rapidly, and resolving cybercrime is often more challenging than traditional crimes. Authorities worldwide receive thousands of complaints daily, and cybercriminals are becoming increasingly innovative, organized, and sophisticated. They work hard to uncover new vulnerabilities and avoid detection while consumers remain unaware of the risks. With the rapid expansion of ICTs, cybercriminals have unique opportunities to exploit, and the full extent of the dangers is still largely unknown.
